Book Review: Decolonizing Wellness

In Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help readers to improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, Decolonizing Wellness is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation.

In this podcast episode review, Yeli & Julie talk about:

  1. Food as an entry to body liberation
  2. Lived experience as valuable “research”
  3. It is harmful to live in a world that treats your body as unacceptable!
  4. “Emotional eating” – or, as Yeli calls it, finding comfort in eating.
  5. Decolonization is Not a Metaphor
